Jamie-Lynn DiScala stars as the infamous Hollywood madam in this made-for-cable
bio-flick. Produced without the participation of
Heidi Fleiss herself,
Call Me traces the
Pandering author's progression from pampered daughter of a liberal doctor (
Saul Rubinek) to headline-grabbing proprietress of a ring of pricey Tinseltown escorts.
Robert Davi and
Brenda Fricker co-star as the boyfriend/pimp and the old-guard madam who offer
Fleiss her entrée into the oldest profession.
Corbin Bernsen plays a big-time movie producer who requires high kink from "Heidi's girls" to sate his jaded sexual appetites. The script, by
Norman Snider, covers
Fleiss' bust but trails off after her incarceration without covering her subsequent rehabilitation as a legitimate businesswoman.
Call Me: The Rise and Fall of Heidi Fleiss premiered in April 2004 on the
USA network.
Snider previously worked on the script for another naughty TV flick,
Rated X, which starred
Charlie Sheen -- one of the few high-flying
Fleiss customers to be named publicly during her early-'90s legal ordeals.
Fleiss was previously the subject of
Nick Broomfield's
documentary Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam.
